It will be the first time Skoda Auto has had an official presence at the show, the car have been brought to the UK by the Belgian First Motorsport team, which runs Duval's factory-supported Fabia WRC in the 2006 FIA World Rally Championship.
This year, however, the fun will also have a serious side, as the show will mark the launch of the Richard Burns Foundation. Set up in memory of the 2003 World Rally champion who lost his fight against cancer last year aged just 34, the charity aims to raise resources and awareness to help people fight against adversity - supporting projects aimed at care, prevention, and giving quality of life to people living with brain cancer and other conditions that can have a severe impact on their lives.
